The uncertainty in the global economy is growing again. The trade issue, which is begun with steel and aluminum AD from the U.S., seems to be expanded into global protectionism. And now it is spreading to the U.S.-China trade war, also leading to currency instability in emerging economies. In addition, the strengthening of environmental regulations and the emergence of the 4th industry are shaking the basic structure of the steel industry. So, how long will this uncertain circumstance last? And how will this circumstance affect our steel industry? Moreover, how can we deal with the uncertainty, and how can Asian countries cooperate for Steel industry?

You can find answers of these questions in the 8th ASF which is going to be held on 12th to 14th of November at Sheraton Seoul Palace Gangnam Hotel. ASF is a conference hold by Asian major steel media and companies. We pursue practical business meetings as well as discussions about current issues. We hope you will come and join us in the 8th ASF.
